It was great to meet you at Tara's the other day!

That is so awesome you got to breed this year. Those eggs look super healthy!!! I have to wait another year,,,but I can't wait to see what I can make. Your leo is great too. It's funny,, I started looking into them as well and I might get a few at some point. Super cool. Only part that makes is a hard choice for me is that they need to be feed every other day/ or day. Which makes traveling hard... Very cool though that you got one.

I don't post much on the boards. I read a lot and check out stuff. I go through small periods of time where I don't get on much. Any how...great to reconnect!!

It's that time of year again. The PDX Reptile Expo... I can't wait! As usually I will not be planning to purchase any new additions, but high white and albino kings always catch my eye.

We will also be having another breakfast get together before the show just outside the doors of the show. I was there around 8am then jumped into line around 9am I think. Anyone who would like to come a bit before the show is more than welcome, bring a little something breakfasty to share. It worked out great at the last show. Hope to see you / meet you there!

It was really nice to meet you and alan as well. We had an awesome trip. Just got back today. The silver queens are settling in. Going to give them a meal in the next few days. You guys have a nice wedding... Talk to you soon..

Hey there,
hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip in Oregon. It was a pleasure to meet you and your father and son, speaking of whom (the little guy) was not only adorable but very well behaved at the table even when dad and grandpa weren't right there. I hope your new queens are settling in nicely. I look forward to seeing pics of them

Hey all just a reminder that the show is only a few days away! August 14th in Willsonville OR. the doors open at 10am but we are having a CS.com member Breakfast potluck before the show starts on the upper terrace (see bottom of linked page for map) http://www.hiportlandsouth.com/meetings/capacity_floor_plans.html right beside the entrance of the Expo. If your planning to attend please PM about what Breakfast item you would like to bring (I'll be there by 8am) Here is a link to the show website

Good News Friends! I talked with Joel (event organizer for the PDX Expo I believe) and he said that we would be able to use the “Upper Terrace” just outside the Expo area in the Hotel the morning of the Expo.
Here is a link to a map of the Hotel (bottom of page)

The Expo is held in the “Dogwood, Cottonwood, Redwood and Candlewood” Rooms. We will be meeting on the Upper Terrace” just outside the Expo. Joel mentioned letting us pay our entry fee ahead of time. Adults $7 Kids 6-12 $3. There is a show coupon you can print off at the bottom of the Show web page.

We decided to have our get together in the morning before the show because a few of our members are vendors and after the show it would be unwise to keep unsold or newley purchased animals in cars for any length of time during the heat of the day. I know it’s early but I plan on being there at 8am. The doors are opened to go into the expo at 10am and there is usually a line of people waiting to get in before that, so 8am gives us a few hours to chat before the show.
I know everyone is on a tight budget but since it will be early and we aren’t meeting at a restaurant I thought it would be nice if everyone could bring a breakfasty type item to share. I plan to bring muffins from Costco, but other ideas might include fruit salad, granola bars, pastries, juices etc. Please message me and let me now what you plan to bring so we don’t have ppl bringing the same things. I am very excited to meet everyone and to have a great time at the show.

So I would like to organize a get together for those of us (Pacific NW Cornz) who plan on going to the Portland Metro Reptile Expo in August, preferably meeting at a food joint in the vicinity of the Holiday. Idk when would be a good time because I know a few of you will be vendors. But if anyone knows of a good place to eat let me know. So far I have seen a Pizza place and a BBQ.
